Does anyone know how an instructor can audit course Announcements to confirm they were distributed to enrolled students?

Hi @ChrisDavis 

Can you clarify what you mean by "distributed"?  Announcements are posted in the course.  The "Student View" will allow the instructor to see if the announcement is currently visible to students.

Whether or not students receive any kind of notification that a new announcement has been posted in the course--and when and how they receive that notification--depends on the students' own Canvas notification settings.

Hi @ChrisDavis ...

In addition to the information you got from @mzimmerman, there is also an access report that you can view for each student in your course.  It would show you the number of times announcements were viewed:

How do I view the course access report for an individual user?

In addition, there may be some data you could get out of New Analytics (specifically in the "Weekly Online Activity" tab):

I hope this extra bit of info will be useful for you.  Let Community members know if you have any questions...thanks!
